Gift in Will Stories
BDH supporter and pledger: Gillian Spencer

“My Godmother, Gillian was a dog lover all her life, and she was particularly fond of Corgis. She supported the work of Birmingham Dogs Home, a charity local to her and close to her heart, for many years, always making donations at Christmas. She decided that when she passed away, the charity would benefit from her estate and therefore she made a provision, which as a family we were very happy to support.
Gillian’s legacy is her love of dogs and her support of the Birmingham Dogs Home which never waived during her life”
BDH supporter and pledger: Dave Mansell
Like many, dogs have been a huge part of my life and like my wife, I’ve been a supporter of Birmingham Dogs Home for many years.
We were fortunate to be able to reunite siblings Casper and Luna after Casper was spotted being sold on a social media site. Bringing them together on Christmas Day, five years ago, made for the best ever Christmas.
In January 2023, we welcomed Sasha, a three-year-old Romanian rescue, into our home. She hadn’t had a great start to her young life, and after being discarded by her family after lockdown spent time in kennels and a lot of foster homes. Having a rescue can have its challenges as you don’t know their past, but with love, support and encouragement you can enrich both your lives knowing that you’re also saving a life.
When my wife and I decided to make a Will, we chose a mirrored Will and made sure that the Birmingham Dogs Home was top of our list of charities that would benefit for years to come.
I wanted my love of dogs to continue and live on, so that many other rescues get the help they deserve in the future.
BDH supporter and pledger: Sheila Mansell
“I have actively supported Birmingham Dogs home for over 50 years, through regular monthly Direct Debit donations, collections and fundraising. When the time came to make a Will, I had no hesitation in including Birmingham Dogs Home as a beneficiary. I know that in years to come my money would still be helping and supporting this wonderful charity.”
